My parents came to USA two times and both times they came on only
one year visa. First time they came and left USA within 6 months
and when they came second time on 6 month I-94, I applied for
extension for 6 months and it got denied. They left USA after
15 days of extension denial notice arrived.

Now, my father passed away two months back and I am planning
to get my mother here again to USA. I am really worried and
confused on what to do. I really appreciate if some one can
shed some light on this:

I applied for my US citizenship last week. I maybe getting
my citizenship done by December/Jan-07 as per the current stats.

Assuming that my citizenship will be done in 4/6 months and also
going by the current Visa appointment dates in India only after Feb/March, what should I do for my mother's visa?

1. Should I ask her to try for visitors visa in coming months?
advantage: if she gets visa, i can apply for her green card
after she come here.. or if she gets multiple she can keep
coming.
[if her visa gets rejected, is it going to be a RED flag for her GC application?]

2 As her extension got denied last time, her chances of
getting B2 visa is very less. In that case, wait till I get
citizenship and process her GC when she is in India.

I really really appreciate on your advise..


Thanks in advance.

There is no disadvantage on GC application if she gets denied for visitor visa since Visitor visa is non-immigrant category and GC is immigrant category. This is a very good option if you want her here ASAP.
2 As her extension got denied last time, her chances of
getting B2 visa is very less. In that case, wait till I get
citizenship and process her GC when she is in India.

If you don't choose option one, this is the only option left for you.I really really appreciate on your advise..


Thanks in advance.
